From all of us at Stride, we wish you a joyful and blessed Eid Al Adha!

Building a business or startup is hard. Startups specifically operate at different level. They're fast-paced. They're risky. There might be investors involved. Which means lots of moving parts.

To succeed, many founders turn to mentors and other successful founders for help.

But with startup mentoring, there are a few things to consider, such as:
- What does this mentor specialize in?
- Are they a financial mentor?
- Can they provide financial mentoring for my startup?

In our newest article, we're focusing on the topic of financial mentorship.

What is financial mentorship? How do financial mentors help startups? And when do you need a financial mentor? We're answering all these questions and more in our newest blog post.

We wish you all, friends, family, clients, connections, everyone... a Happy New Year 2023!

December is the time of the year when businesses review their performance over the course of the year.

Companies want to know if they have achieved their targets, if they’ve deviated from their business plans and financial forecasts.

The end of the year also means it’s time to make new financial forecasts for the coming year or years.

But with forecasts of higher interest rates and a fluctuating Egyptian Pound, how can you forecast your company’s financial needs and performance?

The Stride team will help you forecast and adjust your company’s budget to price fluctuations, inflation changes, and targets.

We’ll help you review your 2022, forecast your financial situation and needs for 2023 and the years to come so you can maintain a successful and growing business.
